Bears Making Changes NFL Betting Odds. NFL betting odds had the Chicago Bears having a very disappointing season and that lack of success has cost many coaches their jobs. The Bears retained Lovie Smith as their head coach but NFL betting odds had them firing offensive coordinator Ron Turner and five other coaches. Chicago was 7-9 straight up this past season and 6-10 against the NFL lines.
NFL betting odds did have Chicago finishing the season with a couple of wins against Minnesota and Detroit but overall the season was not a good one for Chicago. Chicago was expected to make a playoff run and have a successful season versus the NFL betting odds but it did not happen. NFL lines stats had quarterback Jay Cutler throwing way too many interceptions and the defense rarely stopped anyone. Despite the lack of success in NFL betting odds, head coach Lovie Smith is expected back. Chicago is 52-44 under Smith but they have missed the playoffs the last three NFL lines years.
While Smith is returning, many other coaches are not. NFL lines had Turner getting fired in addition to tight ends coach Rob Boras, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, quarterback’s coach Pep Hamilton and offensive assistant coaches Luke Butkus and Charles London. The Bears are expected to have a new offensive and defensive coordinator next NFL betting odds season. Mike Martz has already said he is interested in the offensive coordinator position. “Absolutely, of course I would [be interested],” Martz said. “But I’ve never talked to anybody or been contacted by anybody.” The team is expected to elevate Rod Marinelli to defensive coordinator next NFL betting odds season.
What might be a surprise in NFL betting odds is that Smith is returning as head coach. Many who look at NFL betting odds are not aware of the money situation though as Smith is still owed a lot of money and the Bears are simply not willing to eat a big contract. The players are still in support of Smith but that is not an NFL betting odds surprise. “I know that across the locker room that we think that he should be here,” linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer said.
The Bears actually started this past NFL betting odds season at 3-1 and many were predicting big things. The Bears lost six of their next seven though as NFL betting odds showed and the season was over.
